The new SRK (Safe Rescue Kit) introduces a whole new safety-standard among the rescue-equipments.

The Sherpa dual-track snowmobile is everywhere recognized as the safest and most stable snowmobile in the market and, thanks to these features, the SRK is an accessory specially designed to be installed directly on it. The special stretcher is installed transverse-way over the rear cargo-platform. It can accommodate the injured patient on either a vacuum-mattress or a backboard, and it is provided with a special absorbing system to prevent vibrations and shocks to the patient even if in case of severe spinal-trauma (it is the typical injury that in the past required the support of an helicopter to face it). The SRK has an electronic-system which keeps the stretcher in horizontal position during all the hill descent, independently by the inclination of the snowmobile, increasing the comfort and the safety of the patient. The stretcher is protected by a roll-over guard (ROPS) and a sturdy perimetrical frame integrated with the stretcher.

The SRK has a dual ski-rack able to carry the patient’s and the rescue-team’s skis, and is complete of warning signals (optical and acoustic) to increase visibility in the slopes during the whole rescue operation. The kit can be easily and quickly installed and removed from the Sherpa, allowing to use the Sherpa for any other purpose (grooming, transporting people and goods, etc) when the rescue service is not needed.

Thanks to the SRK, any rescue-teams will finally have a safe, quick and effective rescue machine specially designed for this purpose. According to the several tests made in cooperation with professional rescue-teams, the SRK’s performances are above any other rescue-device (i.e.: the traditional toboggans behind-skier or behind snowmobiles).
